Hello,

after damaging my beloved XD7 with sea water, I bought a used replacement of same type. 2 weeks aftere buying, it's not working anymore though:

When half depressing the shutter release, a "running" light appears from bottom to top through all LEDs, ending in darkness. When fully depressing, the shutter opens, but doesn't close until I disconnect the batteries.

The problem is not 100% permanent though, there were short periods of time when it worked normally again.

So far, I tried new batteries, opened the camera to have a look, all resistors seem clean, couldn't find any obviously damaged part.

I read through the archives of the forum and seached a lot, but couldn't find anything helpful so far. So I am posting a new conversation now and hope for help, since I like this camera a lot. BTW, I still have the old (corroded) XD7 for spare parts.

Thanks a lot for any help!
